Boucher’s Big Line Gives Senators Punch
OTTAWA, Ont.— While distractions like bingo and wrestling were keeping Buck Boucher’s Ottawa Senators idle in a hockey sense, front office gentry were working overtime signing talent…in this case Phil Maloney, centerman who gave the Senators such a boost last season. Blocked during the early part of last week from practising because of the obovementioned indoor “sports”. Boucher’s boys were hard at it later in preparation for their Quebec Hockey League opener against Montreal Royals, and the addition of Maloney, a neat playmaker who has always been something of an ice general lent the Ottawans noticeable strength. Last year the Senators turned back the Royals in the inaugural, and Boucher’s boys had high hopes of repeating this year. Changes in View While the team is pretty well set for the first two games at least,…
Creighton Survives 10-Day T-Zone Test, Starts To Look Good

He can patrol his position well and helped keep the enemy scoreless every time he…

Vancouver Gets McCreary
GUELPH, Ont.—Guelph Biltmores of the Ontario Junior Hockey League are resigned to losing the services of their star player, but they don’t intend to let him go without compensation from New York Rangers. Billy McCreary, 20-year-old left winger, has received a “very attractive” offer from the Western Hockey League’s Vancouver Canucks, a farm club of the National Hockey League Rangers. Roy Mason, general manager of the Biltmores, said Wednesday: “We have a chance to purchase a top flight junior player who would be a suitable replacement for McCreary but his asking price is high. “We’ve put a lot of money into McCreary for the last three years and can’t afford to lose him without moving to keep up the team’s strength.”…
